The Princess of Wales has written to express her apologies that she will not attend a key rehersal event for this year’s Trooping the Colour ceremony, as the senior royal continues to recover from cancer treatment.
In a letter to the Irish Guards regiment, of which she is lieutenant colonel, Kate Middleton said she was “very sorry” that she would be unable to make the salute during the Colonel’s Review on Saturday – the final rehearsal for the Trooping the Colour parade which marks the King’s birthday on June 15th.
